Division 1 ENERGY STAR eligibility criteria — TEC

To qualify as ENERGY STAR, the TEC value obtained for imaging equipment listed in Section B, Table 1, above must not exceed the corresponding limits below.

For imaging products with a type 2 DFE, the energy consumption of the DFE, calculated as in the example below, should be excluded when comparing the product’s measured TEC value with the limits listed below. The DFE must not interfere with the ability of the imaging product to enter or exit its lower-power modes. In order to be excluded, the DFE must meet the definition in Section A.32 and be a separate processing unit that is capable of initiating activity over the network.
